JEE Main Physics question

Statement 1: In an elastic collision of two bodies, the momentum and kinetic energy of each body is conserved. Statement 2: If two bodies stick to each other after colliding, the collision is said to be perfectly elastic.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is TrueCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

In an elastic collision, it is the total momentum and total kinetic energy of the system that are conserved, not those of each individual body — Statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is also false as a
